[00:01] Coa
    Listen up, everyone.
[00:04] Coa
    I just got a call from Satou's mother.
[00:09] Coa
    Apparently, he's quitting the Dolphins
    because they're moving to Gunma.
[00:14] Coa
    It's unfortunate, but that's how it is.
[00:16] Coa
    I've been asked to pass on his regards.
[02:02] Dai
    This can't be real.
[02:03] Dai
    It can't. It can't!
[02:05] Dai
    Hikaru can't move away.
[02:07] Dai
    He can't quit the Dolphins!
[02:10] Dai
    It's not happening!
SIGN    Some Day, For Sure
[02:25] Dai
    Please answer, Hikaru.
[02:29] Dai
    Damn it!
[02:30] Old
    Hey, kid!
[02:32] Old
    Do you live here?
[02:34] Old
    Did you lock yourself out?
[02:36] Dai
    N-No, my friend lives here.
[02:39] Dai
    I'm trying to get in touch with
    Satou-kun in apartment 1501.
[02:43] Old
    1501, huh?
[02:46] Old
    Oh!
[02:47] Old
    The family in that unit moved out yesterday.
[02:50] Old
    A mother and her boy, right?
[03:02] Izu
    What?
[03:03] Izu
    I'm in the middle of changing!
[03:05] Izu
    How many times do I have to tell you not
    to come in here when I'm using the bath?!
[03:12] Izu
    Hey, are you listening?
[03:15] Dai
    Oh, sorry. I didn't realize you were in here.
[03:22] Izu
    Mom!
[03:23] Izu
    What's wrong with Daigo? He's acting funny.
[03:32] Mom
    Well, you see...
[03:34] Izu
    What? Hikaru-kun moved to Gunma?
[03:37] Mom
    Yes.
[03:38] Izu
    But why?
[03:40] Izu
    He only just moved here from the States.
[03:43] Mom
    I don't know all the particulars,
[03:47] Mom
    but the mom of one of his classmates said
    that his mom said her goodbyes last Friday.
[03:54] Mom
    But it looks like Daigo only heard
    about it today from his coach.
[03:59] Izu
    What? That's so awful!
[04:02] Izu
    But I don't get it. Hikaru-kun's dad
    has been seeing Daigo on a daily basis.
[04:05] Izu
    Why didn't he say something?
[04:07] Mom
    He probably didn't know.
[04:10] Mom
    Toshi-kun got divorced several years ago.
[04:15] Mom
    And, even though his
    mother has sole custody,
[04:19] Mom
    when Toshi-kun was playing
    in the major leagues,
[04:21] Mom
    they lived in America so Hikaru-kun
    could see his father every month.
[04:26] Izu
    So that's what happened.
[04:27] Mom
    I think his mother's originally from Gunma.
[04:31] Mom
    She probably decided to
    live closer to her parents.
[04:35] Izu
    All of this must be a pretty
    big shock for Daigo.
[04:38] Izu
    I wonder if he's okay.
[04:40] Mom
    I'm worried about him, too.
[04:43] Mom
    Having Hikaru-kun around reignited
    Daigo's passion for baseball.
[04:56] Sak
    Shigeno-kun!
[04:58] Sak
    Is it true that Hikaru-kun has transferred?
[05:01] Sak
    I didn't see him on my way to school today,
    so I asked one of my friends in Class 4.
[05:06] Sak
    They told me Friday was his last day!
[05:09] Dai
    Seems like it.
[05:10] Sak
    I hadn't heard anything about it.
    I was so shocked!
[05:14] Sak
    Did he say anything to you about it?
[05:17] Dai
    No.
[05:18] Dai
    I only found out at practice on Saturday.
[05:20] Sak
    Huh? R-Really?
[05:23] Sak
    Why would he even do that?
[05:26] Sak
    He wasn't here long, but I felt
    like we'd become good friends.
[05:30] Sak
    I can't believe he didn't
    even say anything to you.
[05:33] Dai
    Forget about it already.
[05:34] Dai
    I mean, there was probably
    a reason for the rush.
[05:37] Sak
    B-But he already knew about it Friday,
    so he could've said something...
[05:40] Dai
    I said, forget it!
[05:44] Dai
    Who cares? He's gone.
[05:47] Dai
    Just stop talking about him.
[05:52] Gym
    Next up, Group B.
[05:53] Gym
    Wall handstands!
[05:58] Gym
    You, over there! Keep your knees flat.
[05:59] Gym
    Don't splay your legs.
[06:01] Dai
    Who cares?
[06:03] Gym
    Five more seconds.
[06:05] Dai
    Who the hell cares?
[06:07] Dai
    I can't wait to forget him.
[06:10] Dai
    I'll wipe him from my memory!
[06:20] Mom
    Oh, Daigo, you're home.
[06:22] Mom
    Welcome back.
[06:24] Dai
    Yeah, I just got home.
[06:28] Mom
    You're not going to the batting center today?
[06:31] Mom
    Isn't your coach, Toshi-kun,
    there on weekdays?
[06:35] Dai
    I called and canceled.
[06:38] Dai
    I mean, I'm a right fielder.
[06:40] Dai
    And I don't have a reason to
    aim to be a catcher anymore.
[06:44] Mom
    But...
[06:46] Dai
    Just drop it!
[06:52] Mom
    I guess I'll let him be for a while.
SIGN    Shigeno
[06:58] Mom
    I wonder if that's a delivery...
[07:02] Mom
    What? Huh? I-I don't...
[07:04] Mom
    U-Um, just one moment, please!
[07:08] Izu
    Huh?
[07:09] Izu
    Whose car is that?
[07:12] Izu
    We have visitors?
[07:15] Izu
    I'm home...
[07:20] Izu
    Mom... and Satou-san!
[07:22] Mom
    I-It's not what it looks like!
    We were just...
[07:24] Izu
    Ah, I just remembered I needed
    something from the convenience store!
[07:27] Mom
    Izumi!
[07:32] Man
    Here you go.
[07:33] Man
    Is this okay?
[07:35] Izu
    Thank you so much!
[07:36] Izu
    I'll treasure it forever and ever!
    A real pro's autograph!
[07:39] Man
    Oh, but I'm not one anymore.
[07:42] Izu
    Oh, yeah. Then, how about I call you "Dad"?
[07:46] Mom
    I already told you!
    He was just helping me up!
[07:51] Izu
    It's okay, Mom, I get it.
[07:53] Izu
    Satou-san's super cool and Pop's in Taiwan...
[07:56] Mom
    Stop it.
[07:57] Mom
    Just get Daigo to come out here, will you?
[08:00] Izu
    Okay.
[08:05] Mom
    I'm so sorry about this, Satou-san.
[08:07] Mom
    You've gone to all this trouble to coach him,
    and he just rings you and cancels...
[08:11] Man
    It's fine.
[08:12] Man
    After all, my son's move to
     Gunma was very sudden.
[08:18] Man
    He's lost his baseball buddy,
[08:20] Man
    so he's probably still getting
    a handle on his emotions.
[08:26] Izu
    Hey...
[08:27] Izu
    He says he doesn't want to see you.
[08:37] (Flashback) Sak
    But he already knew about it Friday,
    so he could've said something...
[08:41] Dai
    We were playing catch that day.
[08:44] Dai
    Why didn't he?!
[08:45] Man
    Daigo-kun?
[08:49] Dai
    Wh-What are you doing here?
[08:51] Dai
    I told you I wasn't going to
    practice catching anymore, didn't I?
[08:54] Dai
    There's no point now that Hikaru's gone.
[08:58] Man
    I didn't come here to
    browbeat you into practicing.
[09:01] Man
    I just wanted to give you this.
[09:05] Man
    It's a letter for you from Hikaru.
SIGN    Dad, please give this to Daigo-kun without opening it
[09:10] Man
    It arrived today.
[09:12] Man
    The envelope says to
    hand it to you, unopened.
[09:15] Dai
    From Hikaru?
[09:25] Man
    I'll be off now.
[09:27] Mom
    Oh?
[09:28] Man
    I'll only bring the mood down if I stay.
[09:31] Izu
    A-Ah, thank you for coming all
    this way to deliver it.
[09:37] Izu
    Hey, hey, what does he say?
     Read it out loud, Daigo!
[09:39] Mom
    Izumi.
[09:45] Lett
    Daigo-kun...
[09:47] Lett
    I'm sorry I disappeared like that,
[09:49] Lett
    and I'm sorry I have to say
    my goodbyes in a letter.
[09:54] Lett
    I'm sure hearing that I'd moved
    to Gunma took you by surprise.
[09:59] Lett
    I don't think anybody was more
    surprised than I was, though.
[10:04] Lett
    We've moved to Gunma because my mother's
    from there, and my grandmother's not well.
[10:09] Lett
    The reason for moving was to be near to her.
[10:13] Lett
    I guess my mother was worried that
    I'd be dead against moving,
[10:17] Lett
    so she kept it a secret
    until the very last minute.
[10:21] Lett
    When she told me last Thursday,
    it was a bolt out of the blue.
[10:26] Lett
    I couldn't believe I had to leave behind
    all of my classmates, Sakura-san,
[10:30] Lett
    and most importantly, you, the guy
    who has quickly become my best friend.
[10:35] Lett
    It was an incredibly hard thing to do.
[10:39] Lett
    I knew I should have said goodbye
    to you that day, face to face,
[10:45] Lett
    but I couldn't bear the thought of our
    last game of catch ending in tears.
[10:51] Lett
    I just couldn't say it.
[10:57] Lett
    I'm so sorry, Daigo-kun.
[11:00] Lett
    I want to thank you for everything.
[11:03] Lett
    Thanks to you, I discovered
    how much I loved baseball.
[11:10] Lett
    Once my emotions are back in check,
    I might play some baseball here, too.
[11:16] Lett
    My dream of having you catch
    my pitches didn't come true,
[11:22] Lett
    but if we both keep playing, I know
    we'll meet on the diamond again.
[11:27] Lett
    And...
[11:29] Lett
    Some day, for sure,
    we're going to be an invincible battery!
[11:45] Dai
    Mom! Mom!
[11:47] Dai
    Mom! Phone! Phone!
[11:49] Dai
    I'm gonna practice catching after all,
    so ask him to come back!
[11:52] Both
    What?!

SIGN    Shigeno Family
[12:08] Boy
    Hey, Daigo.
[12:11] Boy
    Wanna come over today?
[12:12] Boy
    I got a new game.
[12:14] Dai
    Sorry, but I already have plans.
[12:17] Boy
    Oh, okay.
[12:18] Boy
    Some other time, then.
[12:20] Dai
    Sure!
[12:20] Boy
    Later!
[12:23] Sak
    He looks so much happier today.
[12:26] Sak
    By "plans," does he mean...

SIGN    Fastballs
[12:41] Sat
    Okay!
[12:42] Sat
    Nice framing.
[12:46] Sat
    You've gotten a lot better.
[12:47] Sat
    130 kmph fastballs aren't
     scary anymore, huh?
[12:50] Dai
    Yeah, I can't believe I used to get
    freaked out by 120 kmph balls.
[12:55] Dai
    This protective gear is starting
    to feel like decoration.
[12:58] Sat
    The trick to fastballs
    is getting used to them.
[13:00] Sat
    Why don't we give 150 kmph a try?
[13:06] Sat
    I'm kidding.
[13:08] Sat
    There's no reason to practice
    catching those at junior level.
SIGN    Mifune Batting Center
[13:12] Sat
    I think we've done all the catching
    practice we need to in this place.
SIGN    Mifune Batting Center
[13:16] Sat
    I want to start concentrating
    on other things.
[13:19] Sat
    Daigo-kun, think it'd be okay to do
    our sessions at your house from now on?
[13:23] Dai
    Yeah, sure, no problem.
[13:27] Sak
    I knew it. He's back playing baseball.
[13:30] Sak
    All right! I'll start playing again, too.
[13:34] Dai
    Uh, sir?
[13:36] Sat
    Yeah?
[13:37] Dai
    I read Hikaru's letter,
[13:40] Dai
    and of course, I want to
    be a catcher at some point,
[13:43] Dai
    but for the upcoming tournament,
    I'm supposed to be playing right field.
[13:47] Sat
    I see.
[13:49] Dai
    I don't have any problems catching fly balls.
[13:53] Dai
    The issue is getting the ball back home.
[13:56] Sat
    Throwing it, you mean?
[13:59] Dai
    That's a stumbling block in
    my quest to be a catcher, too.
[14:04] Sat
    Daigo-kun?
[14:05] Dai
    M-My arm's so weak,
    I can't even throw a ball 50 meters.
[14:11] Dai
    Even though I'm the son
    of the great Shigeno Goro.
[14:15] Dai
    I-It's laughable, isn't it?
[14:17] Dai
    I'm sorry for bringing it up at this stage.
[14:21] Dai
    I just don't have any talent.
[14:25] Dai
    I see.
[14:26] Dai
    Well, I'd have to see for myself,
    but if you're a right fielder,
[14:30] Dai
    I guess we should practice
    throwing the ball back.
[14:33] Dai
    O-Okay.
[14:34] Sat
    Let me warn you about
    one thing though, Daigo-kun.
[14:38] Sat
    I never want to hear you say
    you don't have talent again.
[14:43] Sat
    Maybe you can in ten years' time, but not now.
[14:48] Dai
    Yes, sir.
[14:57] Dai
    Weren't we going to practice at my house?
[15:02] Sat
    Your backyard is too small for practicing
    right field stuff like long throws.
[15:06] Dai
    Oh, right.
[15:08] Sat
    Okay, let's see how good your arm is.
[15:17] Sat
    I think this is about 50 meters.
[15:20] Sat
    Imagine you're throwing it from
    right field back to home base!
[15:22] Dai
    Uh, y-yessir!
[15:26] Dai
    I wonder if I can do it...
[15:36] Sat
    Looks like it got here, after all.
[15:38] Dai
    Yeah, somehow.
[15:41] Sat
    The runner made it home, though.
[15:48] Dai
    Uh, I've only thrown one ball...
[15:51] Sat
    I don't need to see any more.
[15:54] Sat
    Throwing long like that isn't
    good for a young person's arm.
[15:57] Sat
    And it's unnecessary.
[15:58] Dai
    What?
[15:59] Sat
    Basically, you guys only need to be
    able to throw from home to second;
[16:02] Sat
    a distance of roughly 32 meters.
[16:05] Dai
    Really?!
[16:07] Sat
    Wait, have you always worried
    about how weak your arm is?
[16:11] Dai
    Y-Yes, actually.
[16:14] Sat
    It's neither a handicap
    nor a cause for concern.
[16:18] Sat
    Anybody can master throwing the ball
    through practice and technique.
[16:22] Sat
    You can even make it look
    like you've got a strong arm.
[16:25] Sat
    Of course, there are actual
    monsters like your dad.
[16:29] Sat
    But they're in the minority.
[16:32] Sat
    It's not as if I started out
    with a strong arm as a kid, either.
[16:37] Sat
    Even after I went pro,
[16:38] Sat
    there were plenty of players
    who had a stronger arm than me.
[16:42] Dai
    I-Is that really true?
[16:43] Sat
    Sure is.
[16:45] Sat
    However, it's not going to be zero to
    laser beam in a week, or even a month.
[16:50] Sat
    It all depends how passionate you are,
    and whether you put in the work daily.
[16:55] Dai
    I'll give it my all!
[16:56] Dai
    Please train me hard!
[17:00] Dai
    Bye.
[17:00] Dai
    See you tomorrow!
[17:05] Sak
    This is so annoying.
[17:09] (Flashback) Sak
    Dad! Mom! Please!
[17:11] (Flashback) Sak
    I really want to join the Dolphins!
[17:13] (Flashback) Mom
    This again?
[17:15] (Flashback) Dad
    What's all this about
    baseball all of a sudden?
[17:19] (Flashback) Mom
    Is this to do with some boy
    you like or something?
[17:22] (Flashback) Dad
    What?!
[17:24] (Flashback) Sak
    Of course not!
[17:26] (Flashback) Dad
    No matter what you say, I'm against the idea!
[17:32] Dai
    Hey, Sakura!
[17:36] Dai
    Are you busy right now?
[17:39] Sak
    Not really.
[17:41] Dai
    Will you come with me, then?
[17:45] Sak
    Huh?
[17:49] Sak
    I figured it'd be something
    like this, but whatever.
[17:55] Dai
    Satou-san has work,
[17:57] Dai
    so I was thinking I wouldn't
    get to play catch today,
[18:00] Dai
    but I'm glad you had nothing else to do.
[18:03] Sak
    "Nothing else to do"?
[18:05] Sak
    That's kinda rude, isn't it?
[18:10] Sak
    Hey, Shigeno-kun, your throws aren't bad.
[18:13] Sak
    Though, not as good as
    Hikaru-kun's, obviously.
[18:15] Dai
    Don't compare me to him.
[18:18] Dai
    I've actually improved quite a bit.
[18:21] Dai
    All thanks to Satou-san.
[18:25] Sak
    Lucky you.
[18:26] Sak
    Being taught by an ex-pro isn't the kind of
    opportunity that comes along every day.
[18:32] Dai
    What's that? You jelly?
[18:34] Sak
    Yes.
[18:36] Sak
    To tell you the truth,
    I'd love to play baseball.
[18:39] Sak
    And join the Dolphins.
[18:41] Dai
    What?!
[18:44] Sak
    What's so shocking about that?
[18:47] Sak
    My older brother was in the Dolphins,
[18:49] Sak
    so I've been cheering
    for him since I was small.
[18:53] Sak
    And when I was Hikaru-kun's training partner,
[18:56] Sak
    I started having fun playing it, too.
[19:00] Dai
    I see.
[19:01] Dai
    Then, just do it.
[19:03] Sak
    You think it's that easy?!
[19:04] Sak
    I've already asked my
    parents a bunch of times,
[19:07] Sak
    but they always say no!
[19:09] Dai
    Then, don't.
[19:11] Sak
    Huh?
[19:12] Dai
    If you're going to give up the first time
    someone's against you doing it,
[19:15] Dai
    that just means baseball isn't
    all that important to you.
[19:21] Dai
    Anyway, throw the ball here already!
[19:24] Sak
    How dare you?!
[19:25] Sak
    I still remember how much you
    moped and whined about baseball!
[19:29] Sak
    You jackass!
[19:35] Dai
    Hey! Watch where you're throwing!
[19:38] Dai
    Hey! Don't just leave!
[19:42] Dai
    Jeez. What's her problem?
[19:56] Sak
    Mutsuko's had her nose
    to the grindstone recently.
[19:59] Dad
    Your mother tells me you've
    been studying in the morning.
[20:02] Sak
    I decided to get up an hour
    early to do my schoolwork.
[20:05] Sak
    That way, playing baseball won't
    get in the way of my entrance exams.
[20:08] Dad
    You're still going on about that?
[20:10] Mom
    Buying all the gear for it
    would be a real financial burden.
[20:14] Mom
    We explained that to you before.
[20:16] Sak
    I don't need new equipment!
[20:18] Sak
    I'll just use my brother's old gear!
[20:20] Sak
    So...
[20:21] Dad
    No! Just give it up already!
[20:27] (Flashback) Dai
    If you're going to give up the first time
    someone's against you doing it,
[20:30] (Flashback) Dai
    that just means baseball isn't
    all that important to you.
[20:37] Sak
    It's important to me.
[20:41] Sak
    Did you know?
[20:43] Sak
    When you catch a ball, it makes
    a really satisfying "paff" sound.
[20:47] Dad
    Mutsuko?
[20:49] Sak
    I'm still bad at catching,
    so when I play catch,
[20:52] Sak
    I'm always nervous that
    I might cut short that sound.
[20:55] Sak
    "Next time, I'll make it
    last longer," I tell myself.
[20:58] Sak
    That's why it makes me so happy
    when I get to hear that "paff."
[21:02] Sak
    Or when I manage a good throw!
[21:06] Sak
    Things I can't do now could
    become possible through my efforts.
[21:10] Sak
    And that prospect excites me
    like nothing else!
[21:14] Sak
    I'll also study hard for my entrance exams.
[21:16] Sak
    I'll knuckle down and make sure I pass them!
[21:19] Sak
    So please, let me join the Dolphins!
[21:23] Sak
    I want to find out how much joy
    I can get out of baseball!
[21:26] Sak
    And I can't do that if
    I don't get serious about it!
[21:35] Tas
    I have an announcement to make
    before we start the session.
[21:39] Tas
    Next week, we're going to have
    a practice match against Minamigaoka.
[21:43] Tas
    It'll be an important match because
    the tournament is two weeks later.
[21:48] Fuj
    I want you all to make sure
    you're ready for it!
[21:50] All
    Yes, sir!
[21:51] Tas
    I have one more announcement, but...
[21:54] Fuj
    Seems changing is taking
    a bit longer than expected.
[21:56] Fuj
    Why not wait a minute or two?
[21:58] Guy
    "Changing"?
[21:59] Guy
    A new guy?
[22:00] Nag
    I wonder who it is.
[22:01] Sak
    Sorry for taking so long!
[22:08] Dai
    S-Sakura?!
[22:10] Tas
    I'd like to introduce the newest
    member of the Mifune Dolphins.
[22:15] Fuj
    I think a lot of you might already know her.
[22:17] Fuj
    She's Sakura Takeya's sister.
    He was on the team two years ago.
[22:21] Sak
    My name is Sakura Mutsuko.
[22:22] Sak
    It's a pleasure to meet you all!
[24:00] Dai
    I'm going to do my best until I can
    fulfill the promise I made to Hikaru!
[24:04] Dai
    Be it framing, throwing, or batting,
[24:06] Dai
    with Satou-san in my corner,
    I've got the best coach possible!
[24:10] Dai
    At the next training match,
    I'm going to really shine and...
[24:13] Dai
    Hey! Why's Sakura getting coached, too?!
[24:18] Dai
    Next time: "Toshiya's Personal Training."
SIGN    Toshiya's Personal Training
[24:20] Dai
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
